The Fat Men Hold Their Own.
New York v orld.

In the race of life the fat men, judged
by the types among the public officials,
hold their own very well. Justice Miller
of the supreme court, who is over 70, will
weigh over two hundred. Justice Field,
also over 20, must weigh nearly as much.
Chief Justice Waite, too, is 70, and al,
though barely medium hight, must weigh
fully two hundred pounds. Yet he is to-
day one of the most active of the mem
bers OF the court. I see him nearly every
day on the streets, stepping off "a a sharp
gait of at least five miles an hour. Jus
tice Bradley, who is over 20, is the lean
member Of the Judicial quartet eligible
for retirement. He looks more languid
and less full OF life than any of his col
leagues. the supreme court justices have
TO work and seems to act upon them like
tonic. The Justices as a general thing
soon break down after leaving the bench.
ExJ Justice Strong is the exception. He
has been retired from the bench for sew
eral years. He is now in the neighbor-
hood of rs years old, but he is hale and
active. His figure is well filed ont. He
Is neither spare nor fat. His tall, dis
tinguished figure is seen nearly every
day among the pedestrians who walk the
avenues for exercises. Judge Strong
rarely, if ever, rides.

Three Brothers Charged With
Murder.

Leavenworth, Kansas, Sept. 28.-The
coroner's jury to investigate the death of
Henry Richter, who was mysteriously MUIR
dered on the 22d, convened yesterday and
found verdict of murder against three col
ored men, brothers, named Drake. The
story as adduced from the evidence is that
Richter whipped Napoleon Drake about
week ago and he swore vengeance. He en-
listed his two brothers, Joe and Noah, in
the cause, and they met Richter in a dark
place and one of them cut him with a case
knife, sharpened to point and as keen as
a razor. Seven gashes were cut in!the dead
mans body, the fatal one being in his
throat. The accused are under arrest.

Electrical Progress.

New York, Sept. %. [Special] The fair
OF the American Institute opened here to.
day, and promises to be one of the most
brilliant and attractive exhibitions ever
given under Its auspices. One of the
most meritorious features of the display
this year consists of the marvelously well
arranged exhibit of electrical inventions
and appliances, showing the wonderful
strides made in this department of science
during the past fifty years. Edison's later
discoveries in the domain of electrical
science of course form no inconsiderable
section of the entire display, although the
inventions of the earlier scientists find
their due place in the most comprehensive
feature of the fair.

John Henry Summers Again.

Again the name of John Henry
Summers adorns the police record,
charged with intoxication and disturb
ing the peace of his aged mother, by
threatening and insulting language.
1t was about II o'clock last night
when the notorious John
entered his mothers apart
ments at the Riley house and
raised such disturbance with her,
that she was alarmed and called an
officer, who locked him up. To say
that John is angry, does not halt con-
vey the state of his temper. He says
his pride has been humbled
beyond the hope of repair,
and that he will have recourse
to law if it takes his last dollar. The
case against him could not be tried
this morning owing to the witnesses
not being present, and as j. HI.
S. was the only prisoner, there was no
court held.

THE DREXEL COTTAGE.
The House i'm Which General
Gralt Died i'm to be Pre-
scented to the Grand
Army.

81. Louis, September 2S.-Mr. Charles {.
Gantz, business manager of the Albany
Evening Journal, will meet General Fair
child and the council of administration az
the Southern hotel this evening. He is the
representative of Joseph w. Drexel, an ex-
banker and twenty millionaire Of New
York, and desires to present to the Grand
Army OF the Republic the cottage on Mt.
McGregOr, near Saratoga, in which
General Grant died, together with its con-
tents, Just as they were when the
ex-president passed away, and one and
one-half acres of ground surrounding. The
only condition Mr.. Drexel would impose
is that the grand army shall provide for
the care of the cottage and its environ
ments, which could be done at small ex-
pense.
Mr.. Gants states that Mr.. Drexel has
already refused an offer of several thous-
and dollars for the property. but he refuses
to donate 1t TO some organization not like
ly to have proper appreciation of its
value.
There is little room to doubt that the
grand army will accept the trust.

plea OF not guilty to the charge of burglar
izing Menges' store on Delaware street and
pleaded guilty to grand larceny. When
Colonel Wofford announced that his client

ground OF the young mans previous good
character, Mrs. Bri~<a, the handsome
young wife of the defendant, burst into
tears and sobbed as Il her heart would
break. Judge White ordered the accused
to stand up and said: "My acquaintance

Gus good condrct, induces me to be leni-
ent. will - ',I"nce YOU to two years in

tears and his frame shook violently as he
was led to his cell.

BeaStlY Drunk.

This morning about II o'clock, a
tailor, named Perry Denermies, enter
ed the tailoring establishment of
Charles Koock, on Third street, in a
beastly state of intoxication, and pro-
ceeded to the room where the girls were
sewing, laid down upon one of the
benches, and kept up a continual
round of profanity. Mr.. Koock Or
dered him out, but words of that
kind failed to move him,
and it was not until Officer
Jake Shobe arrived that he concluded
to take his departure. The girls were
frightened and ran out of the room,
letting the drunken man have full
sway, while Mr.. Koock was absent
for the officer. He has been on a
protracted spree and was honest
enough to express surprise that he
had not been arrested long before. A
few days ago he arrived here from st.
Louis via the "blind baggage" and
for which a charge of trespass will be
launched against him. He is now
within the confines of the calaboose.

Coming For Vengeance.

The inclement weather last night
had the undesired effect of keeping a
large number of people away from the
tabernacle, and, therefore, the au-
dience before Major Cole was on a
small scale, as compared with those of
the past. However, the Major
exercised his usual zeal and
energy, and caused rip
pie of mirth when he said in an
earnest manner:
lowing to the rain and mud, why,
we'll have meeting tomorrow just the
same as heretofore. Take up the col
lection" His remarks last night on
"CoMING FOR VENGEANCE"
Were pointed and very interesting.
''God will make us not milIionaires,
but a great deal more than million
aires" said he. THE child that
is redeemed by the blood of
Christ, is richer than all your MIL
lionaires. Christ is coming. What
a time there will be. He is coming
to take vengeance, not merely on the
profane, liars, murderers, etc., but
coming for a greater sin, coming to
take vengeance uion those who obey
not the gospel. You can't imagine
the sin that is worse than rejecting
Christ, you will be electrotyped
and that will settle it, for
the corrections will have
to be made beforehand. The
wicked will be driven away; there
will come an end, and the Lord will
not always be striving to save the soul
of man. The christian should live so
as to be ready on call. 81 won't take
aback seat for anyone in loving my
wife and daughter" said the Major,
earnestly, "and | wouldn't be away
wearing my life out if there was not a
hell. What a world this is going to
be when the graves give
up their sacred dead,
and you that have neglected Christ,
will be turned loose with all the
thieves, murderers, harlots, etc. Why |
| tell you it will be hell right there,
and you won't need any fire and brim-
stone to help it out. Do not suppose
that he is going to let you escape, be-
cause you say: 90! l circulate in the
best society, wear dude or 'dudine'
clothes not a bit of it, God, who has
made all this world is coming to take
and do not think that He
will need the United States Navy to
back Him up. Now the question
comes up. If the Lord should come
tonight, how would it affect you?
Are you ready?."

England he followed us there and

wants to marry me, though he is now

on my sending him SIG, 900. / never
saw the man to my knowledge, though
when l was at Lake George six or
seven years ago mamma and / noticed
a strengthening man, with a big
SLOUGH hat, fishing in the lake. Two
or three hours afterward a boy came
to our house with little bit of fish
that, he said, the queer man on the
lake had sent to me. [ expect that
that man was my lunatic. There is
another man in Boston who is all the
time writing to me that he is Napol-

me a rest for about six months, and
just as had about forgotten him l
